When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they
were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving
wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.

Then there
appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.

And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different
tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

Now there were devout Jews
from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,
but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who
are speaking Galileans?

Then how does each of us hear them in his own
native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as
well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them
speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."

the earth is full of your creatures; Pleasing to him be my theme; I
will be glad in the LORD.

If you take away their breath, they perish and
return to their dust.

When you send forth your spirit, they are
created, and you renew the face of the earth.

Letter to the Galatians 5:16-25.

I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will
certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.

But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now
the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery,
hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions
of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do
such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

In contrast, the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control. Against such there is no law.

Now those who
belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the
Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John
15:26-27.16:12-15.

When the Advocate comes whom I will send you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me.

And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.I
have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.

But when he
comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he
will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.

He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it
to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from
what is mine and declare it to you.
